>>>The invasion of Iraq is attracting the deadheads ... <<<

Maybe they heard Jerry Garcia was spotted there.

Mark Steyn Scores Again!

Lol. I haven't followed those groups enough to appreciate the significance of what I was typing. Apologies to all Dead enthusiasts.

...the awesome divide between the postmodern sophists and everybody else is the real legacy of 11 September.

Let us hope so. And may that "awesome divide" between the self-selected elite chattering classes -- including the "nine dwarves" hoping for President Bush's job in 2004 -- and sane, reasonable human beings grow wider still, to the point where said elite can be clearly recognized displaying itself in the public square, in the full light of day, as the arrogant, irrational, self-loathing, and America-hating irrelevancies they all truly are. Truly, "the Emperor has no clothes"....

And thus, God willing, the innocent lost ones of 9/11 will not have died in vain.

Thanks for the great post, quidnunc. I love Mark Steyn.

Why?

Are you getting kickbacks for any hits on your link?

Thank you.

"All turban and no jihad" Classic

Clever line, but I don't think the Moorags are called "turbans". Isn't that a Sikh/Hindu thing?

To be accurate, Moorags are best called "Dishtowl-and-a-fanbelt".

"All turban and no jihad" Classic

Agreed! I will have to remember that one!

They should post that "Excerpted"- thingie at the top, that way one could choose whether to read the excerpted version or not.

Just as the rest of us have the right to post the full text of articles as thread comments (except when sourced from LAT/WP and related publications). Fortunately, the vast majority of FReepers hold the correct interpretation of copyright law and the right priorities when it comes to choosing whether to excerpt.

There are a million reasons why my interpretation of copyright law is correct and the interpretation generally accepted here on Free Republic is wrong — and each one of those reasons is preceeded by a "$."

Even in the Hindu Kush at the all-U-can-eat scorpion buffet, you can’t dine out on 9/11 for ever.

ROTFL!!! That is just PRICELESS!!

[jokar]

Those people deserve the courtesy of a page-view hit.

That's fair enough.

Steyn Ping

[Poohbah]

Are Bush’s approval ratings plummeting? Gallup has him at 59 per cent. In any case, he always takes August off and his numbers always slip as noisy Democrats run around filling the vacuum. Then September arrives, he comes back to work and they rise again. It’s now an established seasonal variation.

Daschle and paleocons "deeply saddened."

[Corporate Law]

Classic Steyn. As someone said in a different thread, Lileks and Steyn, a great one - two punch.

[colorado tanker]

Dang, Steyn is good.

[Texas_Dawg]

Best line:

"And does Miss Hawley really think Saddam is ‘gloating’ right now? His dynastic ambitions died with his sons, he’s kipping at the back of his second cousin’s donkey stall, and he’d kill for a new box of Quality Street but George Galloway’s nowhere in sight."

Tex, I'll be honest with ya. I don't have a clue what that means.
